Peter Jackson has had just such an odd development of his career in movies. First off he is a fantastic director, but it is his older movies that really show that off. He started out with more indie type stuff, and some of it is pretty damn bizarre. Dead/Alive is the goriest movie I have ever seen, and also very funny. Meet the Feebles is a movie I love but do not recommend to anyone. It is all about demented puppets and I will not even begin to describe some of the things these puppets do. Then throw in Heavenly Creatures which is just an awesome movie. After seeing these movies, which I saw before he was named the director for the Lord of the Rings movies I would never have guessed he would start doing the type of movies he does now. Make no mistake he is a good director it is just a question of if he remains one now that he is taking on bigger movies.
